#sparkinfo. Weekly Update
Welcome Back Week! (August 12th-16th)
Let's get on the bus!
This year, we will use Jon Gordon's Energy Bus as a focus. If you have not yet read it, I would encourage you to do so. You can either buy your own copy or we will have copies available in our P.D. Library.The theme of the book is what you would expect from Jon Gordon- the power of positive energy. We want you on the bus as the C.E.O. (Chief Energy Officer) of your classroom or support area! Energy Vampires will not be allowed on the bus. If you don't know what any of this means, that's ok! Coach Morris will do an introductory session next week.
A positive team approach will certainly yield positive results for our students as well! For those students who come to school with baggage from tough things at home, let's commit to giving our students a safe and loving place to learn and grow.
